Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to yards is 0.33333333333333, which means that 1 foot is equal to 0.33333333333333 yards:

1 ft = 0.33333333333333 yd

To convert 3000 feet into yards we have to multiply 3000 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 0.33333333333333 yd

3000 ft → L_(yd)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in yards:

L_(yd) = 3000 ft × 0.33333333333333 yd

L_(yd) = 1000 yd

The final result is:

3000 ft → 1000 yd

We conclude that 3000 feet is equivalent to 1000 yards:

3000 feet = 1000 yards

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 yard is equal to 0.001 × 3000 feet.

Another way is saying that 3000 feet is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001 yards.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand feet is approximately one thousand yards:

3000 ft ≅ 1000 yd

An alternative is also that one yard is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand feet.
